@JonTheMon So it's a group of 25ish kids, which we'd (obviously) break into some groups. Apples to Apples is a good call, King of Tokyo is a fun one to throw at them, too. Thanks for the suggestions!

@JoeW BGG absolutely, but it's tough to think of the right filters/search terms and I haven't yet found a good list someone's made. "Board games for 8th-grade indoor recess" is probably the list I want =)
